# How to Research Industry Benchmarks with Copilot

Copilot helps you find industry benchmarks while writing performance specs, setting OKRs, or documenting SLAs in your IDE. Reference authoritative metrics directly in technical documents without context-switching to a browser, keeping your benchmarking research tightly integrated with the work it informs.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Add ToolRouter to Copilot MCP config
2. In Copilot Chat: "Search for API performance benchmarks: latency, uptime, and error rate standards"
3. Review benchmark data inline
4. Ask: "How do these benchmarks compare to our SLA targets?"
5. Use the data to validate or adjust your performance targets

## Example Prompt

```
Find API performance benchmarks for latency and uptime. What are the industry standards for production APIs?
```

## Tips

- Great for validating SLA targets against industry norms
- Reference benchmarks in technical design documents
- Search for benchmarks specific to your technology stack
